CMMI is a heavy weight process (or not?)

CMMI is a heavy weight process (or not?)
CMMI is there to burden the developer (or not?)
CMMI just means more documentation (or not?)

In Documentation <> Process Joel Semeniuk did a follow-up on an earlier blog post on which he received very interesting comments.

Joel is not a CMMI Scampi Distilled fan, as the book suggests it requires 400 document types and 1000 artifacts required to facilitate a CMMI appraisal.

Joel suggests a more agile approach is better, and has some suggestions for further reading: Glen Alleman has a good insight into this.  David Anderson also has a fantastic presentation that you NEED to read from beginning to end.  Stephen Swoyer has a fantastic article on this as well.
